Following a recent survey of Virgin Atlantic check in staff at airports worldwide, Virgin Atlantic have discovered the strangest items passengers have attempted to check in when flying to one of our 32 destinations.
The survey revealed items such as the lady who had her family carry her bath tub through the airport at JFK expecting the item to be checked in, it wasn’t even wrapped or packaged, she just turned up with it at the check in desk!

1) A pet tarantula hidden in a lady’s coat at JFK airport.
2) A dead cow wrapped in plastic at JFK airport.
